I am looking for Ephedra. I use it for weight loss and as a bronchial expectorant. Do you sell this? Many sites claim to have ephedra but you can tell once you take it because there is no increase in energy, nor is your appetite suppressed. ## this site does not manufacture, nor sell any products, this is an information only website. Ephedra has actually been banned for sale in the U.S. since 2004, because of the serious side effects it caused that included elevated blood pressure and heart rate. This resulted in many deaths and thus, its removal from the market. Learn more: Are there any other comments or questions?

Unknown pill found. It's square-shaped with rounded corners, pale green or white with green specks. One side is indented like a plus sign. Has the letters B and D diagonally on it. B in the top left portion and D in the lower right. On the backside is the number 100. I asked a friend who is a pharmacist, but she said Ephedra was not listed in her drug book. I was told this was a kind of Ephedra ordered from Mexico. Can that be true, or could it may be some sort of steroid, as someone referred to it as a wafer?

Would like to buy several bottles if possible. ## I'm sorry to inform you, but medschat is an information-only site and does not manufacture, sell, nor promote the illegal sales of prescription drugs among these forums. Any effort to contact individuals for their medications is promptly taken down upon notice and could possibly result in being banned if not adhered to. If you need help locating a doctor that will prescribe you the pills you might need, then please post back with that intention and I, along with other users, may be of help to you. ## I wondered if anyone was ever going to say something! This site is helpful to so many and I'd hate to see it shut down for the wrong reasons :-(

Can I take my tramadol tonight after taking 25 mg ephedra this morning ## @Marcella, Based on information I'm finding pertaining to drug interactions, in my opinion it would be best to wait at least a day or two in between doses. Reason being is that both Tramadol and Ephedrine are known to cause seizures individually, and taking the two together in such a short time frame may increase your risk of seizures THAT much more. So it's probably just a good idea to play it safe if you have any reservations about this. The estimated half life of Tramadol is reported to be up to 6-7 hours, whereas half the dose you took and then half of that half would be divided every passing 6-7 hours until it's no longer working in your body. If you calculate this from the point of your first dos...

i have diabetes type 2 are these safe to take ?? ## Hi cathy, Ephedrine is the principal active ingredient in the herb ephedra or effergin. Contraindications for this drug state the following: Ephedrine should be used with caution in patients with inadequate fluid replacement, impaired adrenal function, hypoxia, hypercapnia, acidosis, hypertension, hyperthyroidism, prostatic hypertrophy, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, during delivery if maternal BP > 130/80 mmHg, and lactation. Because diabetes "is" listed above, I would strongly advise discussing the safety of its use with your doctor, as each individual may react differently to it. If you find that you are able to use it, might I ask for what purpose you're using it for? If for weight loss, I find that cont...
